Tornado Motor Speedway Joe Pemberton Memorial

View fullsize

The first ever Joe Pemberton Memorial took place today at Tornado Motor Speedway, and it was track owner Clay Kirchenbauer who brought home the checkered flag. In a feature plagued with yellow flags, Clay was able to hold off Justin Franks on restart after restart. With 10 to go, Franks got into Kirchenbauer sending him into the infield, bringing out a yellow, and the gentleman rule was enacted, giving Kirchenbauer his spot back. He was then able to walk away for the last 10 lap run to the finish, scoring his first ever IDIOTS series victory.

Chaos ensued back in the field where the championship was at stake. Both Tyler Gunn and Tony Beaber were involved in mishaps, but with Beaber coming home 7th, and Gunn 10th, Gunn was able to bring home his first ever IDIOTS title.

Fun Stats: All 5 feature winners this season were first time IDIOTS
